Begun as a program to help rehabilitate prisoners, Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) today is a vibrant business creating Innovative Solutions for customers while helping inmates gain the job skills to lead Productive Lives. ACI's strength is working with our business partners and customers to answer their question: Can ACI...? Most often we answer: Yes. We Can. Because we already have the staffing solution or the operation to produce whatever they need or we can set up an operation or refer them to another business partner with an answer for them.

Testimonials

We are very pleased with the lockers. They appear to be well built and should last us a long time. Arrived before we expected.
Thank you

Craig Danielson, ASU

Thank you so much for working so quickly to create our awards for our honorees. After visiting with you yesterday at ACI I realized how significant it would be to have our awards created by your team there and then when I saw the designs they were Perfect! They look awesome! The event was great and part of its success was due to you and your team.

Over the past 4 working days I have watched 2 of your work crews from Phoenix work hard continuously at our Tucson Office removing metal shelving and flooring. I was especially impressed with the leadership and guidance of their ACI supervisors, especially Mr. Estrada. Please ensure that the ACI Management and Director are aware of the quality and quantity of work these men and their crews do.

Please allow me to express my thanks to you and your exceptional team at Arizona Correctional Industries that assisted with the allocation and delivery of our new conference table.

March 2014: Each year the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honors several outstanding staff and community partners during our annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. This past April we had the pleasure of once again working with Mr. Thomas Brown and his staff to design and create awards, certificates and programs for this year's ceremony.
In addition to the plaque and certificate templates that Tom and his crew had designed for last year's event, this year we added a new plaque and certificate template for our Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports award. Once again, we were amazed by his team's creative workmanship. It was truly an honor to present these plaques and certificates as tokens of our appreciation and to celebrate our staff's exceptional efforts.
I would like to comment Tom and his support team from the Sublimation Department, Gretchen Jones (ADC219170), Elizabeth Quiroga (ADC244869) and Cindy Deeringwater (ADC282776). Their attention to detail and relentless determination to release a quality product on time is second to none. We are proud to have Tom and his crew as part of our team and look forward to future projects.
In total, 37 plaques, 176 certificates and 180 program covers were provided by ACI. It is without a question in my mind that Tom's efforts were instrumental in providing these professional products in a timely manner, free of errors and as a positive reflection of the workmanship and quality that I know ACI to produce.
Thank you very much for contributing to the success of our event.

March 2014: Here at the State Library we have had some tremendous difficulty with certain vendors of the last 12 to 18 months. Recently I've started coming to ACI with a few of our on-going projects and even threw Tom Brown (Customer Service Manager) a curve ball when I asked if anyone could design a logo for a symposium we're doing in March.
We couldn't be happier with the results. Everything Tom has taken on has come back on time, at a cost that's reasonable and with a finished product that has far exceeded expectations. I have recommended ACI's services to our Library Development Division – our primary service provider for all 420+ public libraries in Arizona. Although most of them have long-established partnerships with their local vendors, I know that over time they will start coming to ACI for their various needs (plaques, service awards, recognitions, etc.). I'll continue to offer you as an option that they won't regret.
And that logo? It's perfect. Just what we had in mind.
Thank you so much all you do and you have a great employee with Tom Brown.

June 2013: In April of this year, the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honored several outstanding staff during the annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. The celebration marked the implementation of a new and streamlined program that updated the process of identifying deserving recipients, as well as establishing and designing all new award categories and certificates. That being said, the success of this event could not have been accomplished without the assistance of Arizona Correctional Industries and in particular the hard work, effort and dedication of Tom Brown.
Tom spearheaded a totally new design template for plaques in the following categories: Esprit de Corps, Exceptional Service, Employee of the Year, Life Saving Award, Outstanding Community Partner, Government Partner, and Director's Award and even a plaque presented to me by my staff. The plaques were an overwhelming success. The exceptional workmanship, styling to include a new 3-D option with our logo, the quality and modern appearance were well received by the staff and the Executive Team. It was truly an honor to present these plaques as tokens of our appreciation and memorialization of our staff's exceptional efforts as a group and or individual.
Additionally, we purchased certificates designed by ACI for staff Commendation and individual certificates for staff recognized as team member for the Esprit de Corps award. The certificates were another example of the care and attention to detail proved by Tom; especially the customization of the certificate to match the Esprit de Corps plaque. Lastly, ACI and Tom's team designed the cover and assembled 180 professional quality programs for the event.
In total, 31 plaques, 85 certificates and 180 program covers were provided by ACI. Tom's efforts were instrumental in providing these professional products in a timely manner, free of errors and as a positive reflection of the workmanship and quality that I know ACI to produce.
Thank you very much for contributing to the success of our event.

The trophy cabinets are superbly made to the exact design and dimensions we requested. They were delivered on time and installed to perfection by the inmates and their supervisor. This brings a total of 22 ACI trophy cabinets in our Sports Hall of Fame complex. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Carlos Esparza in the purchase of the cabinets.

We received the brochures yesterday and appreciate your efforts in completing the project ahead of the expected completion date. You went the extra mile to make this happen!! The brochures look great and will be distributed to ASU students at a presentation made by the Director regarding internship opportunities with the department. You Exceeded Expectations!! Thank you.
